A Beavers Instinct.


after it's birth and carried it to his cabin,
where he gradually made great pet of
it. As the youngster approached matu.
rity he got to building dams, and each
morning the hunter found his cabin floor
divided by dam that reached from wall
to wall, the component parts of which
we're frewood, boots, articles of clothing
and other movable articles in the house
that could be reached or transported. To
add TO the confusion, a basin or bucket of
water, if possible, WAS capsized and food
ed over the floor. This little animal,
who had never seen a steam or dam to
know either, WAS busily at work engaged
in doing what his forefathers had done 8,
thousand years before him.
While all other game or fur bearing
animals of the Northwest are likely to be
exterminated without dissenting voice,
the poor little harmless and hardworking
beaver has found last friend IN the cat.
tlemen aud herd owners. The reason is
obvious. In this great dry country and
climate the streams and water.holes on
ranges are few and far between. Mois.
ture is the cattle mans greatest want.
Now, q beaver destroys nothing but trees,
and as there are few of the latter on the
great treeless plains of Montana, the
beaver, of necessity lives on shrubs and
roots and builds his dam where he may.
This just suits the cattle.men, who finds
in the Insignificant little quadruped,
compared to his 1000 pound streets, a
most valuable ally in providing ponds
and drinking places where there were
none before.

ARiZoMA's PUZZLE BOX.

The territorial board of examiners seem to devote their attention more to getting up series Of prize puzzles for quarterly examinations than to the prep sration of fair questions to test the ability of teachers. A, the last quar- terly examination the questions sub mitted were of such character that not a single applicant passed in this county. although many of them were teachers of considerable experience and had achieved considerable success in the profession. The same complaints come from other counties in the territory. It was thought that the experience of that examination would serve as hint to the astute board and that legitimate questions would thereafter be submitted. Such, how ever, does not seem to be the case Out of ten questions submitted at the pres ent examination. five are catch ques- tions, more of a puzzle than legitimate question.
 The following IS a sample, which serves to give an illustration of the knowledge of proviucialisms possessed

A pes,humus Beard.

A San Francisco undertaken told the
 Examiner the following story:
 "When the war closed was an under
 tAker in Richmond, Virginia. and was
 employed to direct the funeral of ~ell- known southern merchant who had fr. ely
 lavished his large fortune in aiding the confederates in their hopeless struggle.
 He died of something to which the doc tors could give no name, which the fam fly. who were obliged to go north 10 enable their sons 10 earn livelihood,
 had no hesitation in calling broken
 heart, loyally sacrificed for the los, cause. He was a very elderly man,
 who always kept his face clean shaved.
 and after his death his widow.
 who was many years younger than her husband, desired that a barber should remove the brist,es that had grown upon his skin while he was in the
 state of mental indifference to outward things that is fhe forerunner 70 snch a death as his
 "Hls face, if may use the exprss- sion, was as smooth as a new-laid egg
 when he was stretched in cast-iron cof- fin, which was dramatically sealed and placed into family vault, which, after the custom of many southern people at that time, was on the plantation owned by the people. The remains were the last depo ned there. for the estate passed into the hands of strangers, who, as usually pledged themselver to leave the burial grouods undisturbed, and to allow its owners access to it at all times.
 "Fiiteen years had passed away and the relatives of the dead man had grown rich, in the east, determined to disin,er the body remove 1t to Long Island and bury it in Greenwood cemetary. They came to Richmond, where was staP doing business in a vretchedly reduced way. and commissioned me to take the remains from the vault. did so and before they were shipped to the east the widow expressed desire to look upon the face once more. l vas satisfied that the body was in good condition so 1 removed the lid of the coffin as it lay in my shop The lady glanced at the con tents and then, in paroxism of grief and anger. she declared that had made a blunder and that the body was not that of her late husband
 ''Of course knew l had not com. mitted any error but confess that at first l was considerably staggered myself. On the once smooth chin was growing q snow-white beard that reached ,he feet and flowed over the sides of the corpse, filling nearly ali the space in the coffin. The clothes and score of other evi- dences convinced the children that they were looking at the remains of their father but the widow refused to be comsorted until the posthumus beard had been
